When planning for a fashion shoot, you have to keep in mind the creative team is just as important as the photographer.
1. Create a Moodboard
-Include all the important details( i.e where, when, time) and provide samples of what your vision is for the overall look
Here is a sample of this shoots moodboard
2. Cast your models wisely
- If you are just starting out and do not have the option to do that, aim for more than one choices so you can see which better suits your vision
3. Visit your location before hand, or check the sites to try and get as much information as to how the hotel is, and what problems(if any) that you may come across
4. Pay attention to details
- The worse thing is having a photo that looks amazing then there is something horrible in the background, I know, I have done it
5. Work with your team, not against them. Although this is your vision, it is also everyones talents being included so work together, don't be judgemental and have fun
Here is a behind the scenes video of "Vanity"... ENJOY
Following my previous post about staying inspired, I figured it would only make sense to post some of my favourite photographers and where I get a lot of my inspiration. Although I consistently pull inspiration from everywhere, I continue to return to 3 main photographers that keeps me high and overdosed with creativity.
